4. How the Water Timer Electronic Works
This GARDENA Water Timer Electronic T 1030 allows you to set different
watering times and cycles for different watering times independent of
whether you are using a sprinkler, a sprinkler system installation or a drip-
head watering system to water your garden.
Your Water Timer Electronic will water your garden completely automati-
cally according to the program you choose. You can set the timer to water
your garden early in the morning or late at night when water evaporates
the least, or while you are on holiday.

8. Preparation for Use
Before you use your water timer you must:
1. Insert the battery
2. Connect the water timer to the tap
3. Ensure the new battery works properly.
8.1 Inserting the battery (Fig. A)
1. Remove the control unit
0
from the housing of the water timer by
pressing the release button
7
(see Fig. B/C).
2. Insert the battery in the battery compartment
5
(only use a 9 V
alkaline battery type IEC 6LR61) (Fig. A).
Note: When inserting the battery pay attention to the +/– markings.
3. Reattach the control unit to the housing. The water timer beeps to
signal it is ready to be programmed.
After another 5 seconds a double beep confirms that the current
settings have been accepted (except when Run Time is set to Reset).
Note: the current time is taken to be the starting time.
4. To delete the current settings, turn the knob to Reset. Set the timer
as described under “Setting the Watering Data”.
8.2 Connecting to the Tap (Fig. C)
The Water Timer is fitted with a sleeve nut for taps with 33.3 mm (G1)
thread.
Adaptor for G ¾ thread (26.5 mm)
The adaptor supplied allows the Water Timer to be connected to taps
with a G ¾ thread (26.5 mm). If you are using the adaptor, screw the
adaptor onto the tap before screwing the water timer onto the adaptor.
Warning ! Attach and screw on manually. Do not use pliers!
1110
“On” position
In the On position the valve is opened after a delay of 2 seconds and then
automatically closed again after 30 minutes. If the water timer is switched
to On during an automatic watering program the valve stays open and is
closed after 30 minutes.
“Off” position
In the Off position, an open valve is closed after a delay of 2 seconds.
10. Changing the Setting
The time and the watering time can be changed using the control knob
(Run Time).
The changes are accepted after approx. 5 seconds and this is signalled
acoustically by a double beep. If the water timer is not reset the original
starting time remains unchanged.
Making changes during watering
You can change the watering time (Run Time) during an automatic
watering program as follows:
.
If the elapsed watering time is shorter than the new watering time
you have selected, then the new watering time is valid.
Example:
Old Run Time = 10 minutes, changed after 5 minutes to 30 minutes.
The total watering time is then 30 minutes.
.
If the watering time which has already expired is longer than the new
watering time, the water flow is interrupted in the next minute.
If you have already chosen the starting time (Start Time / Run Time
already set) any changes you make to the watering frequency
(Frequency) are active as soon as the next watering program starts.
If you have forgotten the current start time, you should reset the Water
Timer and then re-enter the watering data.
9.3 Examples
Current time: 9:00 am.
The watering program should run as follows:
Example a) Every day at 9:00 for 10 minutes.
Example b) 3 x a day (= every 8 hours) for 2 minutes. at 10:00,
at 18:00 and at 2:00.
Example c) Every 3 days at 16:00 for 60 minutes.
The timer should be programmed as follows:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Example a) 24 h 10 min. do not press
Example b) 8 h 2 min. press once
Example c) 3
rd
60 min. press 7 times
The watering time has now been changed. The water timer will now
automatically run the required watering programs.
9.4 Turning off the watering programs
The watering programs can be switched off for any period of time
e.g. in periods of bad weather as follows:
1. Turn the Run Time knob
3
clockwise to Off.
2. To restart the watering e.g. at the end of the bad weather period,
turn the Run Time knob
3
back to the required watering time.
Note: The starting time you previously selected remains unchanged
so that your garden is watered at the usual times (the times you pro-
grammed).
9.5 Manual On/Off operation
In addition to watering your garden fully automatically, the Water Timer
can be operated manually by turning the Run Time knob
3
to On or Off.
Automatic watering programs during this time are not executed or inter-
rupted. After manually opening / closing the valve (On/Off) you can once
again select a watering time. A watering starting time which you deter-
mined earlier remains unchanged.

11. Battery
11.1 Status indicator
If the battery capacity falls below a certain level, a warning signal sounds
every 15 seconds. The programs you have set are not run. The water flow
cannot be opened manually. If a valve is open, however, it will be closed.
11.2 Changing the battery
If the battery capacity is too low (the warning signal beeps every
15 seconds), you must change the battery. To do this, the water timer
must be removed from the tap.
Impor
tant: Changing the battery deletes the data you have set.
To change the battery:
1. Insert the battery in the battery compartment
5
.
2. Set the Run Time control knob
3
to Reset.
3. Reset the watering data as described in “Setting the watering data”.
If the Run Time knob
3
is not turned to Reset, 5 seconds after the
battery was inserted the current Run Time
3
and Frequency
2
settings
shall be accepted. This is confirmed by a double beep.
Note: The time the battery was changed is taken to be the starting time.
To ensure that the water timer works properly we recommend that you
insert a new battery at the beginning of every gardening season, or at
the latest after a year.
Important ! Please dispose of used batteries properly at the appropriate
communal waste disposal site. Only dispose of batteries when flat.
12. Notes on Safety and Operation
.
The minimum water output to ensure that the Water Computer
functions correctly is 20-30 l/h.
For example, at least 10 x 2-litre Drip Heads are required to
control the Micro-Drip-System.
.
The Water Timer must be stored in a dry place away from frost
before the frosty season begins.
.
The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 °C.
.
The minimum operating pressure is 1 bar, the maximum opera-
ting pressure is 12 bar.
.
For functional safety reasons, only use a 9 V alkali-manganese
battery.
.
The water timer beeps at intervals to indicate that the battery
capacity is too low until the battery is flat. When the water timer
is beeping the valve is no longer opened. To ensure that the water
timer works properly a battery with low capacity must be exchan-
ged.
.
We recommend fitting the water timer with a new battery at the
beginning of every gardening season or at the latest after a year.
.
The functional safety of the water timer depends on the capability
of the battery. The water timer will only run for approx. 1 year if
the new alkali-manganese battery has a nominal voltage of at least
9 V. Check the battery before you buy it.
.
To prevent water penetrating the battery compartment, the Water
Timer may only be installed in a perpendicular position with the
sleeve nut pointing upwards.
.
The control unit must be attached to the Water Timer during
operation.
.
Warning ! Only use the water timer outdoors.
The water timer is not approved for indoor use.
.
Check the filter in the sleeve nut
A
regularly and clean if neces-
sary.
.
Avoid tensile strain. Do not pull the hose connected to the Water
Timer.
.
Only use clear fresh water.
13. Options
13.1 Anti-Theft Protection (Fig. F)
